Library response to COVID-19

ACU libraries will remain open to students and staff with a few changes in place.

There will be some changes to opening times.

Please check the Opening hours on the Library website before visiting a campus library.

Remember:

• If you are unwell, please stay at home
• Wash your hands thoroughly and often
• Cough and sneeze into your elbow
• Give others space by staying at least 1.5m away from them.

To reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus it is essential that you give each other space. Social distancing is emerging as one of the key actions we can all take to keep ourselves and others safe. We have closed some study rooms and made some changes to the layout of our furniture to help with this.

Please do not move furniture in your libraries. These changes have been made for your protection and that of your fellow students.

We are also limiting the number of staff working in our libraries each day. We urge you to use our self-service options to borrow books, pick up holds, etc. whenever possible.

Our online services are operating as normal and are available to you whether you are on or off campus. 

You can chat with us 24/7 and we have increased the monitoring of our email service.  

If you have never used the Library services from home, now is a good time to check them out and make sure you can sign in.

More information about ACU’s response to COVID-19 is available via the fact sheet. This is a rapidly changing situation so check this fact sheet regularly to keep up-to-date with what is happening.

Thank you for your co-operation.
